Why do you need our DEI training?
You have probably invested in training for your team to help them accomplish their daily tasks. But some issues lie beneath the surface; issues involving gender, ethnicity, race, age, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, physical and mental ability can affect team performance, if they are not resolved. Our DEI training will be integrated into your mission and workplace culture with the goal of promoting an environment of tolerance and understanding among your team.
Sector Specialty: Factory & Trucking, Customer Service, Social Services, Health Services, Education
We will examine human natural historic tendency, the equality movement etc. to be able to harness diversity positively.
We will take a further look at your process to make sure it is set up to allow people with differences may still be perfectly suitable for.
We can also help you to build association for different groups support such as:
- African-Canadian
- Hispanic
- Asian
- women
- African-Canadian women
- gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexual
- military veterans.
We offer a creative game session, which is a self-reflective thought exercise that helps participants examine who they are and how they do what they do. In addition, our guest speakers engage in role-play exercises to help examine communication styles and gaps.
We offer a pool of guest speakers who are skilled in both storytelling and inspiring people. They can provide speeches, performances and–if requested–food for training sessions.
